Early childhood development has been further enhanced for residents of Falcon with the recent opening of the Falcon Child Health Centre consulting rooms at the Falcon Library and Community Centre.
Previously housed at the Falcon Family Centre, the Child and Adolescent Health Service’s (CAHS) Child Health Nurse service has also now expanded from one nurse to two, with families able to make appointments from Monday to Thursday.
“Doubling our Child Health Nurse capacity means more families living in and around Falcon can access vital early childhood health checks in their local area,” said CAHS Executive Director Community Health Sue Kiely.
“Co-location within the library is also great for families. There’s a strong link between the services and information provided by our nurses, and the early childhood learning programs run by the library, so it’s great to be able to pair these services for the local community.”
City of Mandurah Mayor Rhys Williams said the relocation of the service to the Falcon Library is a perfect match, creating an integrated early childhood hub for families and carers in the area.
“Through our valued partnership with the Child and Adolescent Health Service, it’s fantastic we’re now able to welcome the new Child Health Nurse consulting rooms to the library,” Mayor Williams said.
The new consulting rooms were officially opened on 22 November by Dawesville MLA Lisa Munday, representing the Minister for Health.
